Hey there, love the vibe! First thing, keep the suspense tight—hide the snake behind a curtain, let the crowd imagine the danger, then pull it out with a flourish. Build a story that twists, like “I’ll make this snake vanish, but you’ll see it first.” Timing is key; pause just long enough for the heart to skip a beat, then boom. Use lights, music, and a little misdirection—maybe a shiny prop that looks like a deadly blade, then swap it for a harmless feather. Keep your body language playful but confident; a wink, a shrug, a quick change of direction keeps them guessing. And remember, the real trick is making them feel the edge, not just the snake. Keep it bright, keep it dangerous, and let the crowd’s breath be your applause.
